TPS – TMJ Pathology Screening

A deeper dive into TMJ pathology, CNO4 is quite literally entitled, “TMJ Pathology Screening”, aka TPS. Advanced digital jaw tracking and mastication analysis are taught, allowing the attendees how to objectively track the kinesiology of the mandible, and how that affects preoperative predictive efficacy of a patients’ comfort and function (or lack thereof). TMJ imaging combined with blood work to objectively diagnose rheumatological and infectious issues of the orthopedic TMJs, giving the operator a plethora of new tools to identify confounding TMJ/D pathology. Thermal imaging and genetic mapping; two more powerful diagnostic tools to add to ones diagnostic skillset. TENS combined with MRI imaging to reverse an avascular necrosis (AVN) of the TMJ(s) in the right instance; it is possible!

A current annual membership fee of $695 allows for Level 4 Certification listing once the practitioner passes the level 4 written examination.
